Persistent cough..anyone else?

I had pretty bad cough for about 3 weeks last month. I had stayed at a friends place who’s kid had it. I just thought I got it from him. I then got a break of one week and it returned. I had mucus last time but not so much this time. It’s worse in the morning but I do have coughing bouts throughout the day. Also lying down my back triggers it. Overall, I’ve had it for a month now. I have an appointment on Friday and I’ll bring it up, but now I’m getting worried. I usually didn’t get cough, colds and allergies. I’ve never smoked in my life. Has the pregnancy made my immunity drastically go down? Made me allergic to something or could it be something more serious? I know only a doctor can answer that but I’m just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat or experienced this in the past. Thank you!
